Small is the New Big

I have left my blog for months but I still got people following me on twitter so I feel like it's time for me to start again.
Have been working for a boring job and studying, so there's not much time left for MYSELF per se. Anyway, here I go on some innovative and actually more .. on detailed observations

I kept being told "DETAILS" is essential to be essential to design and I started to realize that it's true. In this globalized world, we tend to take things for granted and missed the minor stuff that is happening around us...

If you have time, you should watch this TED video, IDEO has always been a loved company in my perspective and I would like to share them with you. (life is not just about fashion, you can always get inspired by other stuffs, to me it's music, gladwell, TED and IDEO)




I'll try to look into the details of fashion and see where I can get inspiration from these, just don't confine yourself I would like, I'm absolutely a fashion victim but my suggestion is be open and explore

My Recent Books of Fashion, Photography and Typography

My Recent Books of Fashion, Photography and Typography

Talking about books, I have started a few a few months ago and they are still just staying at the first few pages...

Here are a few books that you don't really have to read, but can taste for a few months
Images say more than a million words

This is the paperback version.

PLUS Book Signing Tour!!!!!

Needless to say, get it on 12th August on Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble
Worldwide fashionistas, wait until early September.

AND I WANT IT REEEEALLYYYY BADLY.

PS I love this girl from Milano in Sartorialist


Photography with Music After taste

Jason Mraz, my recent favourite, has published a Polaroid Book called "A Thousand Things Book". I haven't read it and I didn't own it, but I do want it somehow. I hope he won't disappoint me.









"He lives happy and free and married to his cat..." His status is my dream... dreaming

Buy it here.

Including this pretending-to-be most annoying commercial for Jason Mraz from Real Magic TV
This video is really stupid but so funny. You can totally get it when you watch the commercial in the United States: "Please call 1-800 ..." or you watch the afternoon or midnight commercial program on TVB
I love his freestyle acoustic performance

Watch it here.

Jason is having a GRATITUDE CAFE TOUR in the United States and Canada. I missed his show in Hong Kong last time, sad... I really wanna go...


The Ultimate Typography Freak Book
I can't believe this blogger's professor is PAUL RAND, the IBM (eye bee m) logo designer! This book is designed by Jan Tschichold, God I love German Typography Design (well Architecture too).
The blogger said: "many pages had been torn out and many pages had letters cut from them. It was mr rand’s practice to cut letters and use them in his compositions. in a later post I will show you one such example.) he would also tear swatches from covers of art catalogs, books, whatever he fancied to use as a color reference for projects he was working on."

Dude, start a collection!!! Whatever it is, cut and paste, draw, sketch, be a collector/artist. I believe nothing comes from void, the more you see, the more you get. And destroy is the key to success? hahaha

Just amazingly lovely.



So, I swear that I won't go to Book Fair again since last year, and because of this post. Here I go now.
